Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peas
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
How to Make
To create this Chilled Pea and Mint Soup, begin by placing the peas, mint leaves, vegetable broth, olive oil, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. After blending, stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. For best results, chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Tips
- For an added touch, garnish with additional mint leaves and a drizzle of coconut milk.
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- Using fresh peas will enhance the sweetness and color of the soup.
Make-Ahead
This soup can easily be made a day in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
Storing
Keep the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, stir well and adjust the consistency with a little cold water if necessary.
Freezing
You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just be sure to leave some space in the container since the liquid will expand when frozen.
Reheating
To reheat, thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water, and then warm gently on the stove over low heat. Do not boil, as this can affect the fresh flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This chilled soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or can be served as a light appetizer before grilled dishes. Consider serving with a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
